I love the dichotomy of the last two guys taking pictures of penguins - the first guy is in shorts and T-shirt and the second guy is bundled up.

The first are either African penguins or Magellanic penguins (South American) and the last is definitely an Antarctic penguin, probably a Gentoo - such crazy geographical difference, but all cute little birds in tuxedos.

I've seen Galapagos Penguins in the Galapagos when it was around 37C/100F, and various penguins in Antarctica when it was -30C/-20F. They truly are amazing.

The two in that video are Jackass (African) Penguins and Gentoo Penguins.
